can someone tell me, if this racket is about the same head heavyness as the AT900t ? Thanks

I have these two rackets. i can say they are two very different rackets. I summarise as follows:-

at900t - much more head heavy, slower, but more powerful

bs10 - feels alot lighter, more even balanced (even though it says head heavy) comparatively, ALOT FASTER, but not as powerful

i used to play at900t alot and only recently got the bs10. when i first played bs10, i had a bit of trouble with the timing as its alot more manouverable and faster than at900t. you dont get as much oomph in the smash but if you string it tighter and get used to the timing, the smash power gap is alot closer.

because it feels so much lighter than at900t, i can swing the racket and control it alot faster. you need to get used to it though.

Also, when you hit the shuttle, the sound and feel is very different. personally, it sounds more muted. some people may not like it.

Both rackets are head heavy balance. However, I think the main difference is the frame shape. BS has sharp swordlike frame, this would slice the air faster than AT's more rounded frame,therefore the BS feels faster & more manuverable.
On the other hand, the AT rounded frame has more momentum when hitting the shuttle i.e. more powerful hit. For BS, you have to use faster wrist technique to generate the momentum for the same amount of power.
Just my 2 cents

i also tried out the bs11. i personally feel its more head heavy than bs10. i find this a bit confusing as bs10 is supposed to me more the attacking type of racket

hi bro ,
may i know what your major findings on BS11 and BS10?
BS11 is med stiff compare to BS10 which is stiff.
so BS10 might feel more heavy head compare to BS11...what you think?
BS11 feel lighter so good for defend game?

I just purchased the BS10. 3U - 91 grams, including string.
Until now I have used the neutral NS4500. Also a Z-Slash for a very short while. Now ZS is for sale .
I will test BS10 this afternoon. But, before that, just wanted to mention that when you swing it through the air, without hitting the ball, it feels very different then NS4500. Very, very different. It is like BS10 is moving by itself, unlike 4500 which you can sense that it moves rather hard. And I have been using this NS4500 for a year now. I expect this BS10 to be a very pleasant experience.
Stiffness is very similar to Arc ZS.

Yesterday we tested my new N90ii (too bad with Bg65 by mistake), the defence is very good, punch very fast and powerful, but less powerful for smash than my Victor 9. I had to change to a defensive player from attacking with N90ii. Basicelly N90ii is more for single players or defensive players.

My Indenosian friend tried our teammate's new BS10, he immediately said this is a good racket for doubles. I will help him get 2 pcs at very good price. He will cut the strings of his Yonex rackets after getting BS10 and keeps them. Myself have not used BS10 before. I will get one for myself too. So far most guys ordered BS10 or 11 from me. Seems these 2 are really good.
